Alexa Chung Hair Color 1
This hairstyle raises a debate we've had oh so many times here at Girls in the Beauty Department--when it comes to bedheady, deliberately mussed-up hair, where's the line between sexy and just ... messy? I mean, none of us really want to look like we just rolled out of bed, right? So let's debate this latest example. Is Alexa Chung messy updo cute or a tad too undone for your taste? Here's what I think: Ordinarily I'd say this hairstyle had a few too many flyaways and strange kinks, but when paired with Alexa Chung uber-poliAlexa Chungd liquid eyeliner and ladylike pink lipstick, it creates an intriguing juxtaposition.Alexa Chung Hair Color 2

Alexa Chung Messy Hairstyles: "For teens to aspire to now…I think Alexa Chung gets its right. Partly because she’s an ex-model, she’s got that going for her—that lanky body that photographs really beautifully…but I just like her tossed off hair. It’s chopped, she lets her natural texture come out, she doesn’t look tortured with blow dryers or straightening irons or anything. She is sexy, obviously very sexy, but in a fresh and kind of tomboy-ish way. There’s nothing worse for me than seeing young girls trying to be sexy; it’s just so painful. I think girls are really interested in her beauty. Girls always talk about her on our forums." Alexa Chung In Long Hair
